In their second game they gained a good victory over Edinburgh University, 20 to 11. It is doubtful, however, if they would have been successful bad it not been that the Edinburgh team's captain was hurt early in the second half, when the scoring was equal.

The game was played in a snowstorm and & heavy ground and the conditions stated the Academicals more than the Oxonians.
